Shane Black Hints At IRON MAN 3 Love Rectangle?

Sir Ben Kingsley’s portrayal of The Mandarin has been lauded and evinced as the main antagonist of Iron Man 3, but Robert Downey Jr.’s Tony Stark will also deal with Aldrich Killian, played by English-Australian actor Guy Pearce. Beyond the character’s role in the Extremis storyline, which Iron Man 3 is “loosely” based upon, not much is known about Killian’s interpretation in the film. Speaking with French magazine Première, Director Shane Black revealed, “We approached [Pearce] to play one of our villains, and he’s incredibly menacing as this guy who is insanely jealous of Tony Stark. He wants to possess everything Tony has, including his girl…”

Aldrich Killian may not be the only one badgering Tony and Pepper’s relationship. Played by Rebecca Hall, Maya Hansen was associated with Killian in the Extremis arc. “Rebecca is a talented, funny and beautiful actress,” says Black. “We needed someone who could be believable in the role of a scientist, who’s a little in spite of herself, and has a lot of charm. She was perfect. Maya Hansen is an old friend of Tony Stark from the past that resurfaces. This is not strictly a rival for Pepper Potts, but she has a real bond with Tony that goes way back.”

Is this a 3 hour movie? It would have to be to fit all of that in.

No man can jizz for that long. It has to be about a 6 second movie, boss.

Wasn't impressed with the second trailer.
That said, I was similary unimpressed with "The Avengers" trailer.
That turned out to be glory on a movie screen.
Hope the same is true of IM3.

Marvel To Issue China-Only ‘Iron Man 3′ Version In Addition To Hollywood’s

The big news today is that Marvel Studios is releasing two versions of Iron Man 3. The Chinese version is destined to be a hot collectors’ item while fanboys will have a field day dissecting every frame that’s different from the Hollywood version of the Robert Downey Jr film. This third installment of the billion-dollar franchise is scheduled to be released in the U.S. and China on May 3, 2013. It will be distributed by Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures in almost all territories worldwide except China where it will be distributed by Chinese distributor DMG Entertainment. Here’s the statement:

Quote:

Marvel Studios and DMG announced that a Chinese version of Iron Man 3 will be released in China on a date to be announced in the near future. DMG, a Chinese media and entertainment company, collaborated with Marvel Studios on the Chinese elements in the film, and is marketing and distributing the film in China. While Marvel and DMG have decided not to apply for co-production status in China, the film includes significant Chinese elements. Renowned Chinese actor Wang Xueqi will appear in both the studio’s Chinese version of the film and in its international and domestic US version. Both versions of the film include Iron Man 3 footage filmed in Beijing in December. The Chinese version of the film will also feature a special appearance of China’s top actress, Fan Bingbing, and will offer specially prepared bonus footage made exclusively for the Chinese audience. Marvel Studios’ experience working on this film with Fan Bingbing and Wang Xueqi and in shooting in China has been very positive and has created a springboard for future collaboration with China’s talented stars and its growing film and television industry. The Iron Man cast and filmmakers look forward to bringing Iron Man back to China.

I think casting Kingsley was a HUGE blunder. Not that it will cost them much money, but the Mandarin is Chinese, and they are obviously making a huge effort to cater to the Chinese audience.
It would have went a long way with the Chinese to have an actual Chinese person play him, I would imagine.
It's not like Kingsley would be brilliant casting even if the mandarin was from Yorkshire.

He's half Indian. He's played Gandhi, he's played a concentration-camp Jew. I'm sure he can pull this off.

Don Logan is a fantastic actor.

Not saying he's not a great actor. Still a bad choice for the Mandarin.
Maybe it would be better if it wasn't a Chinese character....but it is.

Wonder if we'll ever see Fin Fang Foom.http://marvel.com/universe/Fin_Fang_Foom

It's typically a mistake to cast a non-Asian as an Asian. No shock there. Besides, doesn't the role scream for Chow Yun Fat for chrissakes?

I think Chow Yun Fat would have been good in the role, but I have no problem with Kingsley in the role. He has the gravitas to pull it off, he is an oscar winning actor....he will not be the weak link in this film. (FWIW, I think the trailers look really good, and I am trying not to raise expectations up too high after the disappointment of Iron Man 2)

Wait a sec... so having an actor whose father is Asian and mother is British play the role of a comic book villain whose father was Asian and mother was British... is a bad choice?

Kingsley was pretty much a perfect casting and from what I have read he absolutely kills it. I doubt it will replace Sexy Beast as my favorite role of his but who knows.
